Feminism vs womanhood.
Genesis 2:18 The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
Have you ever wondered where the feminist movement came about? Feminism is a demonic overtake on gender equality. For a lack of knowledge, women have suffered for thousands of years. We were taught the doctrine of submission in a form that seemed like bondage. The enemy has been successful in turning hurt, abuse, and rejection into weapons to weaponize women against God’s will. Rebellion. Womanhood is not a feminist movement. Womanhood is a divine order from God.
The feminist movement is not Biblical, and as daughters of God, we don’t partner with anything that is against the truth of God's word. Culture and the Spirit of pride have seamlessly masked themselves in the very fabric of our faith. Although there is more to women than what meets the eye, the feminist agenda is to desensitize men and to replace their God given role, much like the homosexual agenda is to replace the perfection of God’s architectural design of a woman. God did not intend for women to run the world or rule over men. The function of a woman is to be a helper to men.
Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her Seed; It shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise His heel.”
To understand what it means to be a helper, we must go back to the manufacturer. God, in Genesis 1:1-3, expressed Himself through the creation of humanity. A woman is another expression of God. The female is unto man what the Holy Spirit is unto us. The Holy Spirit is the helper. He reveals the truth and confirms God's will to us. A woman who understands her function helps bring clarity and completeness to the home. She has a unique ability to train her children up in righteousness. She teaches he household, including her husband at times, to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. A woman can maintain peace in her home even when the world is in complete chaos. Her submission to God maintains godliness in her home.
There is no surgical procedure that can reconstruct a woman. Although technology is helpful, it can be dangerous when placed in the hands of evil doers. God's design and purpose for women cannot be duplicated. Not even Adam was privy to the genius of the formation of who he identified as bone of my bone and flesh of his flesh. Eve was formed from the side of the man, not his back. In her, God placed what we call intuition, an inner knowing and strength. The only thing that comes from trying to surpass the function and role of a woman, as we read in Genesis 3, leads to corruption.
Proverbs 18:22 He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD.
God said it is not good for the man to be alone. God purposed in His heart to present a companion suitable for Adam. The architectural design of a woman differed from that of Adam. God did not speak to the ground this time around. God used the elements that already existed in Adam. God extracted the cells (rib) required to form the female version of man. God formed woman in such a way that within her was the ability to create life without His assistance ever again. Within a woman is everything to bring life, not just in natural birth, but birthing the will of God.
Adam had the wisdom of God to name the animals. Adam’s work was done well as God instructed. However, on his own, there would be no multiplication. God needed a system that would create life without His assistance after He had finished his work of creation. God formed women to be builders both internally and externally. She is more than what meets the eye. She is more than her outward appearance, with her curves and charm. All that is needed is fertilizer, and the woman's body does the work without her having to lift a finger. It is extraordinary.
Proverbs 14:1 A wise woman builds her house, while a foolish woman tears hers down by her own efforts.
When the Spirit of God came upon Mary, her body began to create life without the seed of a man—her womb conceived life within her. In that moment, Mary gave birth to the prophetic destiny of all those who would accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. She heard the word of the Lord and came into agreement with God. Those simple words Mary spoke, Be it unto me were the fulfillment of what God said when the enemy deceived Eve. Women are powerful intercessors. They have a perspective that men often miss.
A woman is the female expression of God. She is a nurturer. She sees a problem and brings solutions. Much like God saw the problem after men sinned, and he set a plan in place to solve it. It is not good for man to be alone was not merely about procreation. The power of agreement could only be achieved with one who was a helper suitable for God's vision to be done on the earth. That means that men on their own could not reveal the governance of God. Not only was the world to be populated through her, but she was to help the productivity of God’s will.
Psalm 128: 3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots
around your table. 4 Yes, this will be the blessing for the man who fears the Lord.
Satan knew Eve was influential in man's rulership on the earth. He knew that to get that authority from Adam, he had to seduce Eve through a slight twist of words. Seduction has become a norm, marketed to cause men to fall. May we shift the discussion on women wanting to be recognized to having an understanding of what the enemy knows and has used to deceive them from the beginning of creation. Everything God created or formed, as was the case with the woman, has purpose. Satan corrupted the perfect image and continues to do so to this day.
The role of a woman is not about seduction; it is about submission. Femininity is not about outward appearance but inward quality. The innocence of Eve was stripped when the serpent enticed her. Her womanly beauty is demonstrated in her ability to bring peace where there is none. She embodies the gentle, holy, and righteous side of God. Her hair represents the glory of God. A woman who understands submission is powerful. Her submission to God unlocks favor for her household, starting with her husband. Her children inherit that favor and call her blessed.
Judges 5:7 The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until I, Deborah, arose, I arose a mother in Israel.
In the old days, and even in the early church, women were not highly valued in positions of power. Women were not allowed to be taught; only men were allowed to hold positions of prestige in both the Temple and the marketplace. How did Deborah rise to be a judge and prophet in a male-dominated era? Deborah had a revelation and understood the divine submission. She was not a feminist. She was a woman who understood authority. Barak trusted Deborah and gained his respect because she had spiritual wisdom. Her modesty and self-control when in a place of power were admirable.
Godly feminism makes room for God's order. A woman in authority has a calm, quiet spirit. She is poised and represents the Kingdom of God well. A man who finds such a woman gains a partner who will do him right. She has foresight and alerts Him of danger. Her virtue, kindness, and boldness come from her posture in prayer. She can be a warrior when making decisions on behalf of her family and nation, yet gentle enough to raise well-mannered children.
Proverbs 18:22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
There are three realms of blessings. Scripture says we obtain blessings from heaven, earth, and the woman. These three realms generate what they need to help themselves, much like when you plant a seed, the ground or earth produces the rest. When a man plants a seed and gives her what she needs to thrive through the nurturing of her makeup, she multiples it. When a woman is deprived of her God given ability, she opens herself to demonic influence, like Jezebel did.
We see Jesus cover women every single time in his ministry. In John 4, Jesus met with this woman at the well. Scripture tells us she had five husbands. She was weighed down by guilt, shame, and generational doctrine that women are only to serve the desires of men. That nasty seducing Spirit does not liberate women, but keeps them in bondage. Jesus told the woman at the well, There is more in you than lust and perversion. I am the image of a good husband. You are complete in me. Stop allowing men to treat you less than I created to express my Father.
John 8:11 No, Lord,” “he said. And Jesus said, “N”ither do I. Go and sin no more.”
Another example of Jesus covering a woman was the woman caught in adultery. He told the men If you have no sin, cast the first stone. It was men who most probably slept with this woman who came to accuse her. To this day, no one knows what Jesus wrote in the sand. I can imagine Jesus wrote a line in the sand. Jesus rewrote her story. He covered her shame. Jesus was moved with compassion. Jesus did what God the Father entrusted to the first Adam. Women have suffered far too long because of the misinterpretation of scriptures. Christ did what Adam failed to do.
Jesus gave those women purpose. For the first time, they were not required to satisfy man’s desires. He redirected their destiny to God's intent for them. He healed the wounded soul and mended their broken heart. When these women caught the revelation from that moment on, they no longer walked in shame but in freedom. Something in them came alive that had been dormant before. You are a helper. Where have we heard that before? What is the role of the Holy Spirit? What is the role of the woman? Helper!
Joel 2:8 And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.
God loves us uniquely. He did not give men a purpose, nor did he give women one. While men demonstrate the strength, rulership, and fathership of God, you are likened to the Holy Spirit. There is a character of God that you have ththmendon'ttmendon'ttntimacyacynd contentment. You can be a force to be reckoned with, yet tender and soft. Jesus also said If you see me, you see my Father. God desires to express Himself through you. You are not exercising authority over men by walking in the role of womanhood.
Jesus introduced himself to the church as the perfect husband. You are the bride of Christ, not his harlot. If you drink the water He gives, you will rest in your identity. You will not be spiritually blind again. You will begin to walk in tandem with the Spirit of God. You won't want the image of man's desires. Ladies, may this revelation change your mindset about yourself. These woman caught the revelation and their lives were changed forever. God is saying to the church, you do not have to be used by the enemy to rebel against your natural nature. Jesus died to cover your flaws. Go and sin no more.
Ephesians 5:21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Until we, as the church, understand our God-given identity, we will continue to satisfy the enemy's goal to rebel against God and offend each other. When Jesus taught the disciples to pray, he said to pray that the kingdom of God manifest in the earth. That means bringing the government of God to the world. The manifold presence of God will be seen when we all come into unity of the truth. Order brings the glory of God. We were created for the glory of God. To rule as kings and priests in the earth.
Ladies, without you, a man is not complete. Scripture says it. Without you, the home falls apart. Man alone did not fully represent the Godhead. Without the Holy Spirit, our lives fall apart. The church represents the household. The Holy Spirit is your helper to submit to authority in a godly manner. Learn from Him. He will teach you who you are as a female. When you know who you are as a woman, you will be prepared for marriage, motherhood, and leadership in your sphere of influence. We cannot accomplish the will of the Father without the Spirit of God.
1 Corinthians 14:35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.
Ladies, when we know our covenant agreement with God through Jesus, we will not be ignorant of Satan's. Ladies, be free today. You are a blessing to your husband, family, and community, so much so that God made sure to warn men to treat you well. If you are a widow, they are to care for you. The prayers of a man will be hindered if they disobey God's commands to them. Your husband receives favor from the Lord when he finds you. Let's explore our roles as daughters of the Most High.
Everyone who professes to be a child of God should study and live by the principles He taught without exception. Jesus lived a righteous life. We are instructed to take up our cross and follow Christ. We are to live a righteous and blameless life. Fear God, and the Holy Spirit will train you up in righteousness. Loving what Jesus loves and condemning what He says is wrong. When you know the truth, set others free by training women to live by example. Guide those under our tutelage, pass on the baton of wisdom. Leave no room for deception in the church so that our sons and daughters will not be deceived by gender confusion. What state do we leave the church in for the next generation of Christians? Jesus is the standard we are built upon His truth.
